So I've been told. Hmm, looking over the lists of branches for bzr,
loggerhead and pytz, nothing jumps out at me that should be marked as
merged.

Well, except for lp:~mnordhoff/loggerhead/transport, which I just added
shortly *after* merging it. And I swear I set it to Merged on the branch
creation screen. Huh. (It's marked as merged /now/ because I just fixed it.)

I swear I used to see a lot of branches that needed to be marked as
merged, but I can't find any now. Maybe I was wrong in most cases, or
maybe more recent LP changes have fixed it. I mean, this could've been
six months ago. I dunno.
